Call for Solutions (CFS): Drone Marketplace Onboarding of US Payloads, Software, Components, and Enablers/Accessories

What the buyer is asking for

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Redstone Arsenal (ACC-RSA) is issuing this Call for Solutions against Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) W58RGZ-26-S-C001 under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3458. This Call will competitively acquire and onboard innovative commercial Uncrewed Systems (US) payloads, software, components, and enablers/accessories onto the UAS Marketplace. US payloads encompass the mission-specific hardware, sensors, systems, or cargo carried by a US to execute designated operational tasks. Unlike the aircraft itself, the payload dictates the specific mission capability of the platform. These integrated systems include, but are not limited to, Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) cameras for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR); Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR); Laser Designators (LD) and Rangefinders (LRF); Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) modules; communications relays (voice and data); and modular physical cargo delivery systems. By utilizing modular and interchangeable payloads, a single US platform can be rapidly reconfigured to support diverse tactical requirements at the Brigade, Corps, and Division levels. Please see attached Statement of Objectives and Components document for further details.
